The Scene

The Scene is a collection of pirate networks that illegally obtain and transfer new movies, music, and games before they are even released and distribute them throughout the Internet. These kinds of people are extremely organized in their behavior and are very paranoid about their secrecy. They maintain a so-called "hidden network" of top-level FTP sites that get the highest quality files first and allow them to fall down the elaborate pyramid of illegal downloaders until seen on P2P programs and networks.
